Just "looks like" but it aint...

I'm not among the parse experts within R-core, but I think the
main problem with your report is that
you talk about a crash but do not provide "self-contained
reproducible" code to produce such a crash, but just the
assertion that you get crashes when working on R <-> Swig
interaction.
Can you construct simple R code producing the crash?
No. I put however difficult autogenerated (~800k big!) .R code that will crash R 2.7 at http://nn7.de/debugging/Features.R for everyone to enjoy :) Sourcing it will crash R2.7.0 (without my fix) but not 2.8. Soeren
